Question

When visiting Baltimore, MD, you

need to rent a taxi to get from your
hotel to the National Aquarium. The
taxi company charges a flat fee of
$3.00 for using the taxi and $0.75
per mile. Write an equation in slope-
intercept form that models this situation.

Answer: Y=0.75x+3

15. Use your equation from problem
14 to calculate the cost for using the
taxi for 18 miles.

Answer:

Answer 1

$16.50

Explanation:

Since x represents miles, substitute 18 in for x

y=0.75x+3

y=0.75(18)+3

y=13.5+3

y=16.5

So, it costs $16.50 to use the taxi for 18 miles

Hope this helps! :)
